While designing of plant project, the departmental interface is an important thing. Each department is dependent on each other for their tasks. Keeping dependency in mind, no department can wait more than their allotted time to the tasks which depend on other department’s input (especially piping). The delay can be due to various reasons. So instead of waiting, a designer can proceed by putting the tentative area which can be called a reserved area so that they can modify it later when input from another department is available.
